The Elena S Blair Education Facebook Group is a photography hub where lifestyle photographers connect, learn, and support one another. Each month, we host the Monthly Online Photo Challenge, giving members a chance to share their work and compete for the group’s cover photo.
The challenge is simple: submit a favorite image, then the community votes. The top 10 images with the most votes are featured in this recap, and the winning photo becomes the group’s cover for the month.
It’s a fun, low-pressure way to get your work seen and recognized by peers who understand the ins and outs of lifestyle photography.
🌟 A huge shoutout to Courtney Jenkins, the winner of our August 2025 Online Photo Challenge!
Courtney is a first time contest winner, an alum of the Elena S Blair Mastermind, and a talented Lifestyle Photographer based in Arizona. Her image captured the emotion and connection that define motherhood, and we’re thrilled to showcase it as this month’s cover photo.
